Here’s the deal. As I mentioned in my last post I discovered my love for baking. My taste buds may be the only parts that love it though. The parts that don’t like it? My hips, my belly, my arms, my chin(s), my ass, my thighs, etc. I think you all get the picture.
Well I’ve decided that I need to get on board with something healthy. I was of course, lying on the couch, browsing through my Facebook newsfeed when I saw a friend had posted about the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge. Immediately I was intrigued. Also the fact that this friend is looking mighty great physically also spurred my interest into this challenge. For anyone who doesn’t know what this challenge is check out www.bikinibodymommy.com!
Seriously, go check it out.
This woman is amazing! First off she has three kids and STILL finds time to film herself making these workout videos. I have a dog and barely find time to want to get off my ass and do the workouts. But really, if you are looking for quick workouts this is your place to go. They usually take around 20-30 minutes. But be warned, you will work HARD! Before starting I was thinking, “Oh yea this will be good but not too tough.” Holy frig…I DIED! I am only on day 3 so not entirely far into it but I did the day 2 yesterday and I almost threw up. No lie. I can barely walk today but it feels good.
Today is either 45 minutes of cardio or 20 min HIIT session. I’m still contemplating what to do. I don’t think my body can handle another high intensity workout but 45 minutes is a long time when your entire body screams when you move. Haha wish me luck friends.
So last night, after dying on the floor from the workout (Yes, I literally died and laid on the floor for like 20 minutes because I physically could NOT move) I decided I needed to document everything. That’s the key to staying with it right? Keeps you accountable? Well here I am, being accountable and such. I grabbed a binder and wrote down the workouts. I made a list of how I felt the day I started, good things and bad things. I wrote down what I felt like after or during the workout. I am going to print off my before pictures, I have my before measurements. Each and every day after the workout I plan to write down how I felt during the workout. I’ve heard documenting all this will help!
I did not do one thing though. I did not take my weight. I know I am overweight at the moment but I firmly believe that weight is not an indication of whether you are healthy or not. I once had a personal trainer 3 days a week for 2 months and we did all those kinds of measurements and weight measurement. Know what? In TWO months, my weight did not fluctuate at all. I did however lose inches upon inches. I have never felt so great before in my life and that was definitely the point where I decided I wouldn’t measure any victory or losses with my body by how much a scale said I weighed.
I hope that if you are looking to drop a few pounds, inches or just want to feel better about yourself that you go and check out the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge! It is hard work, but honestly, only three days in and I feel better. Sore, but better!
